Tori White is a multidisciplinary American painter, writer, and filmmaker whose background in acting deeply informs her visual art. Originally from Seattle, she moved to Los Angeles as a teenager, where she discovered a profound connection to painting on found scrap wood. Rather than using traditional canvas, White paints with oil on wood panels, deliberately allowing the raw, intricate grain to remain visible beneath her atmospheric compositions. Her style has evolved from purely abstract faces to recognizable, emotionally conflicted characters and stark, lonely landscapes that echo the vastness of the American Southwest. Now splitting her time between Venice, California, and Teton Valley, Idaho, she creates highly narrative, cinematic works that invite viewers to project their own stories onto her subjects. Exhibited in galleries and art fairs across the country, White’s raw, empathetic approach to the human experience has established her as a captivating contemporary voice.
